How to unlock the The Right Way achievement in Grim Fandango Remastered - Definitive Guide

Right after the intro ends and you gain control over the game, immediately go into the menu, enter Options and change the movement setting from "Camera Relative" To "Tank Controls". It works pretty similar like the old Resident Evil games, but eventually you can get used to it. I suggest using the D-Pad rather than the Analog sticks since it is somewhat easier to conrol Manny.

EDIT: As Reillyington86 mentioned, you might be better start a New Game with Tank Controls on, just to make sure the achievement doesn't glitch.

Tank controls were designed with a D-Pad in mind! It is absolutely essential that you use it, or you're in for a rough time!

Brings me back to the old classic Tomb Raider days haha

I played Grim Fandango when it first came out, and a bunch of RE games and Blast Corps with 'tank controls'. This is no probalo. :D

Sometimes it pays to be over 30. :P

I'm not sure but on the PlayStation version you also had to start a new game with the Tank Controls.
Might be best to do it anyway.

I changed to Tank Controls right after the game started before moving the character and it unlocked for me at the end of the game, but if people want to play it safe they can start a new game. Also, thumbs up from me for the tip to use the d-pad, made it a little less annoying going through the game.

I also can confirm there's no need to start a new game. Just change it after the cutscene and you're fine.

What happens if I still have the controls set to tank, but I'm playing on PC and use point-and-click with the mouse? Will that void the achievement does anyone know?

@PICKLE RIIIIICK I should be able to confirm this by tomorrow but I don't see how it could, as long as you have tank controls and not camera relative you should be golden.

In fact, if you have an option to play this on Windows 10 I'd recommend it for this very reason, as it makes this achievement pretty redundant due to the point and click nature of a mouse. Makes tank mode almost unnoticeable. Did the Platinum on PS4 and it is SIGNIFICANTLY less fiddly on PC. Not that its hard anyway...

I played the game on PC with Tank Controls on, but did everything with the mouse. In the end, the achievement still popped.

Why the hell would the developers annoy us with these tank controls for using it the full game :S

@Ron Jeremy R6 - because that was how the game originally controlled on PC, with the keyboard arrows.

Honestly I find the tank controls perfectly adequate. The only thing I wish they added to tank controls was for some way to do a 180° Turn like in Tomb Raider or Resident Evil, but it's not as annoying as some people make it out to be.

I'm deliberately not following a guide for this though and am curious how the mouse controls work. Is it really that much easier? Half of the hints are with Manny looking at objects....

You can turn on tank controls and use the mouse on a PC, and the achievement still pops. The mouse controls are VERY easy. You just click on things and a little wheel option pops up to look at, use, talk to, etc. You can double-click to run, and the whole thing is very smooth.

Easier method after ensuring that the tank controls are enabled is to play the game on PC with a mouse and keyboard. It is a play anywhere title and doesn’t have high requirements to run so it’s worth playing this way.

I second playing on the PC. I could not even play the first resident evil games and SOCOM with the controls that way. Brutal

Curious to know the age range of the people who can't handle tank controls, and whether they're using the DPad or not :p

Although it was jarring at the beginning I got used to it and only used the left stick for my entire tank control play through. It’s easy and very possible. You don’t need to use PC for this.

I've just completed year 1 and realised this achievement was a thing. I didn't set the tank controls right at the start. Is it worth me switching controls and continuing or should I just restart from the beginning?

Year 1 you can do in less than an hour, I'd just restart.

Are you sure it's not jus the recent achievement delay issue? If you played the whole game through with tnak controls you should get it (FYI i got my 3 Bioshock 2 achievements with hours of delay yesterday...)

I followed the excellent walktrough. But I didn’t notice the warning at the beginning to setup tank controls. Not playing this game twice. Sucks that there is not a workaround after completion. Oh well.

He jugado el juego dos veces ya que la primera vez no active la opción de movimiento "controles de tanque " y no eh recibido mi logro por jugar el juego con esa obsesión. Alguna solución. Es molesto jugar por una tercera vez sin estar seguro que recibire ese logro

It takes a little getting used to initially if you are used to camera relative, but I promise that at some point it just clicks in in your mind and you'll wonder why you ever did it any other way

About halfway through, the game force quit from Quick resume due saves not being synced. After restarting the game, it put me back to the opening scene, with default settings. I loaded my last save just to figure out that the controls are reverted from tank controls.
I switched back to tank controls, and restarted my last save. The achievement unlocked in the end, but remember to save regularly and if ever your controls reset, switch back and reload a previous save to be on the safe side.

So the above guide is great, but if you have a PC that achievement can be SO MUCH more easily completed. You can use either touch controls OR a mouse. Since I have Game Pass Ultimate, I downloaded this game on my PC and played through it with tank controls on from the beginning and used my mouse 98% of the time and it unlocked.

For anyone trying to do it this way, a few notes on the matter. Movement is on the arrow keys, not WASD. I only used the arrow keys in two places: The forklift and the underwater conveyor belt. I'm not sure it's possible to get past these areas with just a mouse.

Came here to leave a solution for using the mouse on PC instead but found you already did, haha!

I managed both forklift and belt with just a mouse so it is possible to complete it with just a mouse.

You can also set the controls to tank controls, and play all the game with mouse and keyboard, works well.

To obtain this achievement you must go into the settings and then go to extras and set the controls to tank controls. Make sure you turn this on before you exit Manny's office at the very start of the game. If it is turned on after you leave the office you will not get the achievement in the end.

As soon as you have loaded the game for the first time, immediately go to Options and click Set the control mode to Tank Control in the last item Movement Mode. Do not change this setting during the game.
The trophy will drop after the game ends.

On Vita, in this case (in Tank Control mode), you can comfortably move using touch controls.

Before completing this trophy, I advise you to delete all previous saves and start completely over. It turned out that I saved, set the tank controls, and then started a new game, but in the end the trophy never came out. I also advise you not to go to the “special settings” and not to change or touch anything there at all during the passage.
